Dawkins says something in his book about how arrogant it is to believe the activities of our daily lives and even the thoughts in our heads have some sort of "cosmic significance". I like that phrase.
The two nimrods in the video probably believe that God is watching down on them, reading their minds and approving of the ridiculous message about the banana. They no doubt believe that this banana discussion is just another step towards an eternity spent in paradise. If they weren't so influential I'd feel sorry for them. It's like a mental illness or maybe disability. I don't mean to be insulting (well, except when I called them nimrods) but these beliefs are really crazy.*
*And no, I don't mean "belief in God is crazy", I mean these specific guys and what they believe is crazy. Holding up a piece of genetically modified fruit and saying it proves God exists is crazy.
